Chapter 16: Dungeon Practice (4)
As soon as Baek Yu-seol sensed that something akin to attack magic was flying by his sixth sense, he blinked and moved to the top of a tree.
Tung! Something similar to a bullet of light passed by where he was standing, crashing into a tree and disappearing.
Baek Yu-seol looked at Fuleim lying on the floor in a cold sweat.
Do you have any reason to kill someone?
Magic Leakage Delays level had recently increased, and it could now detect magic flying from 18m away, so I wiped away the cold sweat, thinking that I was almost in danger.
Wizards wore thin layers of defensive magic on their bodies, and I didnt have any of that.
Besides, the light bullet isnt a good thing.
Wasnt it too much for someone at a student level? In magic society, a 17-year-old magician was called a genius even if he used only 1st class magic.
But it was all a ruse in Stella. First-year students were already using 2nd class magic freely, and students who excelled, such as Fuleim, were dealing with 3rd class magic.
It was best not to deal with Radiance attribute magic, which was fast in attack, powerful in attack power, and also good at healing.
But now I have two blinks, so if I can use the terrain well, Ill be able to deal with it to some extent
[Blink]
Class: 1
Maximum Range: 12m
Maximum number of charges: 2
Cooldown: 3 seconds
As a result of the early morning training, the number of blinks increased to two. Now, it was possible to move freely.
But its hard to fight with her.
It was crazy to deal with the main character, so Baek Yu-seol left quickly.
My goal was to be in the top 5. No, I was aiming for exactly the 5th place.
As I recall, the prize for fifth place was Edelic Root. When consumed, it increased stamina and muscle strength by a certain level, and although it was not that good, it was added as a product to replenish energy when young students studied.
Jeremy was first, followed by Haewonryang in second, and Hong Bi-yeon in third. Mayu-seong was in fourth place, but there was a part where Fuleim would take it away from him.
Anyway, the score from the fourth place was so overwhelming that I didnt care. The cut-off for fifth place was approximately 70 points. I only need three more point sticks.
However, no matter what you say, I cant seem to recall where the point stick was. I simply need to believe in the quick maneuverability of blinking and searching.
Oh, is it another dead end?
I took the wrong way. It was so confusing because the terrain kept changing in the first place.
I had no choice but to turn around and try to get out of the other way.
s! The grass in front parted, and about five boys appeared.
Oh, who is this? Isnt it Baek Yoo Seol from class S?
When I checked the name tag, it was a boy named Raiden. Those guys are pretty well known in school these days. He belonged to the Yuslek faction, whom I had previously identified as Jeremy Bread Shuttle.
So, they were the faction member of a faction created by a faction member of another faction. Next to him stood boys whom I believe to be in the Yuslek faction, and I was honestly impressed.
Because Raiden was holding three-point sticks in his left hand.
Theyve collected a lot.
The Raiden gang came close and condescended.
Are you Baek Yu-seol? The one who cant use magic at all and got into class S?
I cant believe you got three weird questions right and entered Class S. Stellas been dead lately, too. <T/N: dead as in quality standards have dropped lately.>
I heard you resonated with an upper-middle grade wand this time. Why dont you show me? For a subject that cant even use magic, it wont be of much use.
It wasnt funny at all but giggling among themselves, they were your typical group of high school bullies.
It feels different to see them after a long time.
When Baek Yu-seol was in school, there were a lot of kids like that.
Why dont you speak? All right, give me your point stick.
I dont want to.
Raiden laughed in vain when Baek Yoo-seol secretly hid his point stick behind him.
What do you believe in, ha? Youre not wearing a damage suit, are you?
A damage suit was a suit given when practicing in a subspace. It had its own protective shield to ensure safety, and if it took damage above a certain level, it would be kicked out of the arena.
In other words, youre out.
But, it only prevents death, it does not alleviate pain. I mean, get a taste of the real thing. Heh heh, youll probably be in enough pain to want to die.
Hmm
I made an estimate for a while.
The first-class Blink should be effective against a group of low-ranking students, but there was a good chance it wouldnt work against a talented wizard from a prestigious family like Raiden. Im not sure if it would have been possible if there had been at least three blinks.
There were, however, variables.
It was the point stick in his hand and the point that this place was a dungeon.
Come on.
Thats how it should be.
When Baek Yu-seol secretly held out the point stick again, Raiden approached with an arrogant expression. He took it as a sign of passing the point stick to him.
And, at that moment.
[Blink]
Flutter! The figure of Baek Yu-seol disappeared like a mist. In those 0.1 seconds, the sound of the robes flapping was heard.
What ?
Raiden made eye contact with Baek Yu-seol, who had reached out his hand toward his left hand.
Ah, in the gap!
Paek!!
Kuck! Raiden was distracted by the tremendous shock that struck his forehead. The magic shield, which he always wore around his body, was shattered into pieces, and shock engulfed his mind.
In the midst of that, Raiden instinctively responded by spreading mana waves.
Paang!!
Oh, that was close.
Because the attacker had already fled, the mana wave only hit the air, but Raiden, who shook his head and awoke, realized that one of the point sticks in his left hand had been stolen.
Damn it!
Baek Yu-seol took it away in a short span of time.
What, what? What suddenly
As expected, the other sheepdogs couldnt even react. Raiden gritted his teeth and looked back at him. There, Baek Yu-seol was playfully waving two point sticks. You bastard
Apart from his anger, I was honestly a little impressed. It was true that the wizard who trained the mana had a better sense compared to the general public, but even so, I didnt know that the first grade who had no experience in combat would respond to the blinking.
Well, no matter how stupid you look, youre still Stellas student?
It was possible for me to sneak a point stick like this when they werent aware of blinking, but it will be more difficult now that they have begun to prepare.
However, as expected, its a point stick. The performance is unmistakable.
One thing that many players discovered while playing the game and watching this episode.
The point stick was, in fact, a bug-like item.
The point stick, created by the faculty to prevent it from being destroyed by students magic, was unusually durable, and when wielded, it displayed a significant level of strength comparable to magical weapons.
As a result, there were many amusing situations during the dungeon practise episode in which novice gamers who were inexperienced in using magic beat monsters with point sticks.
Of course, it really only works for beginners, and it would be more advantageous to use magic, but
It was different for Baek Yu-seol.
His main focus was physical attacks, and if a weapon with strong attack power was given, he could use blinking 100%.
It was well-received. Ill have to give you one as a present when I get a girlfriend later.
You, you, you motherfucker!
As Raiden swung his staff, lightning struck where Baek Yu-seol was standing.
But hed already flashed over the nearby tree. Raidens men hurled ice awls and fire spheres at Baek Yu-seol, but he avoided them by sneaking down the branch.
Now!
Two other boys threw wind and water ropes at him, assuming he wouldnt be able to move while falling from the air, but then a huge rock fell into the air and blocked the magic.
It was a dungeon trap that was aimed at Baek Y-seol.
Oh, what?
The dungeons traps perplexed the boys, such as soil sprouting from the floor and grabbing their ankles, or trees that had grown around them, causing them to lose their sense of direction by suddenly rotating round and round.
Yes. This was a dungeon, not a place for an easy battle.
Even Baek Yoo-seol, with his sixth sense of the Magic Leakage Delay, not only avoided the trap freely but also flexibly used it as a shield or blindfold, turning the Raiden gang into a dog that chased chickens.
Damn it! Wheres that motherfuker! Hurry up and find him!
He, hes too fast we cant find him!
ppaeok!
Argh!
If they showed even a small gap, Baek Yu-seol would rush to the traps square and hit the head with a point stick.
The boys clenched their teeth and kept vigilance in all directions, not knowing when or where they would be attacked.
There he is!
Where? No ones there!
He just disappeared!
It was a difficult task to find Baek Yu-seol, who teleported and tapped, while the soil sprung up, tree trunks whipped in all directions, and the ground spun round and round at the same time.
Because Baek Yu-seol knew how to make great use of the terrain thanks to his many years of PVP.
Blinking in the East, Blinking in the West
Baek Yu-seol, who was appearing here and there, noticed a gap and his eyes lit up.
[Blink]
As soon as the decision was made, I approached the boy who was standing on the precipice and casting magic.
And then, I screamed.
Argh!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him and shouted, and he was so startled that he forgot his face and fell to the floor, losing his wand.
At that moment, Magic Rebound was triggered by the effect of casting failure.
There was enough cool time left to blink, and it was possible to avoid it, but magic rebounds of only first or second-class magic did not cause too much damage, so avoiding it was unnecessary.
So I acted aggressively.
Just before the magic rebound happened, I kicked the boy in the stomach and pushed him to the place where the Raiden and his crew were gathered.
Ting!
Shudder!!
The robes magic shield wrapped around his stomach lightly intercepted Baek Yu-seols kick, but the impact was enough to blow him back.
phut!
Whoa! Argh!
Argh!
It was a shock wave the size of a firecracker at best, but it was still insane due to the traps in the dungeon, and because of rumors of a newcomer, their heart trembled, screaming a little, and they fell back.
This technique worked because the opponents were young boy wizards who were still learning how to fight.
And in between.
[Blink]
I moved behind Raiden, who took a step backward in surprise and took another point stick.
You, you, this dog!
Aigoo boss. You are even organizing a one plus one event. This will ruin the store!
Hey, bring it here!!
Raiden fired a thunderbolt, but it did not reach Baek Yu-seol, who hid behind the tree.
I dont think Ill be able to take the other one.
I stuck my head out again, wanting to be satisfied with this.
I had a lot of fun, so Im going to go now. I have a date tonight.
You!
Raiden shouted, but Baek Yu-seol, who had already blinked and left his place, could not hear it.
Fufu, what a windfall it is.
If I had fought normally, I would have been robbed, but thanks to the fact that this is a dungeon, I was able to steal the point stick. Thats what adulthood is all about.
Something caught my eye as I was leaving the battlefield.
A familiar black hair back of the head.
Fuleim? Whats that kid doing here?
I had no idea because unless the subject was using magic, I couldnt tell their location with my sixth sense, and she had been watching my fight with Raiden from a good distance away for quite some time.
Is stalking her hobby?
It was strange, by the way. According to the game, Fuleim had two options to choose from here.
Defeat the hidden boss that Eisel had planned to hunt, or intervene in the fight between Hae Won-ryang and Mayu-seong to determine their victory or defeat.
Whats she doing here at a time like this?
I was about to climb a tree while staring blankly at her when my sixth sense alerted me of a creepy sensation.
Uh?
When I turned my head.
Whack!!
A huge fireball flew right to the landing spot of Baek Yu-seol.
